New Naming Committee - Urgent Request

The Douglass School, our alternative education center that includes programs for middle and high school students struggling in the traditional school setting, is moving to a new building at the old C.S. Monroe Center, whose program, the Monroe Advanced Technical Academy, has now moved to the new Academies of Loudoun.

The name Douglass School has historical significance to the building it currently names, so we don’t want to move it to the new building. Therefore, the new building needs a name. The School Board will be voting on the Naming Committee tomorrow night and I don’t have anyone representing our district yet. If you are interested in serving, please send me your contact information (full name, phone number, email address) and why you’d like to serve. You should expect the committee to meet twice. Sorry for the late notice. I need names today!

Elementary Attendance Zone Change Process Starting Soon

Waxpool Elementary school is scheduled to open to students next fall. The School Board will begin the process to establish its attendance zone on October 18. Attendance zones for the following existing schools may be changed as part of this process: schools in our district – Hillside, Mill Run, and Moorefield Station – as well as Creighton's Corner, Legacy, Madison's Trust, and Rosa Lee Carter. See www.lcps.org/Page/206863 for more information. Subscribe to the page and you’ll be notified of the latest updates as well. ​Please let me know if you would like to schedule a meeting with me to share your opinions or concerns on this process. I’d be happy to attend PTA/PTO meetings or neighborhood meetings as my schedule allows. Of course, you can also contact me via email or phone as well.

Vote Yes for School Bonds on November 6

1. Register to vote if you haven’t yet. You have until October 15. 2. Vote absentee if you won’t be able to vote at your regular polling place on November 6. You have until October 30 to request to vote by mail or until November 3 to vote in person. 3. Vote Yes on the School Projects question. This will provide low-interest funding of the next planned elementary schools and other capital improvement projects as needed. The cost becomes higher if this isn’t approved so please don’t forget to turn over your ballot when you vote.
